Our Acorn RP

Please make sure you arrive on time for school at 8.45am. The doors are shut promptly at 9:00am. Some children attend their mainstream classes in the afternoons and all of the children will join in with some lessons. Hometime is 3.15pm.

When the children arrive at school they complete a morning task and we join together for a 'Welcome morning session'. We regularly attend whole school and singing assemblies. The children spend time with all of our staff, so they will get to know us all very well. In the afternoons, if the children aren't attending their mainstream classes, we focus on non-core subjects such as Art and Music, as well as developing key skills such as cooperative play, fine motor and social and emotional development.

We are very fortunate to have our Acorn Provision in school. We support children with additional needs, but also children who may require support to build up their confidence or to catch up with their learning. With a high staff to pupil ratio, we are able to teach the children in smaller groups and use a more personalised learning approach. We also have lots of support from other professionals including our speech and language therapist and our school counsellor Amanda. Our aim is to help all of our children reach their full potential; we ensure that we make time to work with the children on their personal learning targets to help them to progress.

Our Curriculum:

Please see our half termly newsletters uploaded on our class page for up to date information on the topics and learning objectives we are covering in the Acorn RP. Our focus in the Acorn provision is our core subject areas Literacy, Phonics and Maths. In addition, we also prioritise developing the children's social, language and communication skills and key skills. The children join in with whole school events, assemblies and trips.

We have two weekly PE sessions which may be in addition to the PE sessions the children attend with their mainstream class. In our PE sessions we focus on developing the children's gross and fine motor skills through sensory circuits, as well as team and ball skills with Mr Beacham.

Our PE days are on a MONDAY and WEDNESDAY. The children can come to school in their PE kit. This includes a white t-shirt, black or navy shorts/tracksuit bottoms/leggings and black trainers or pumps. Please ensure children are in our correct PE kit. The children engage in outdoor learning daily so they need to wear sensible flat school shoes and a suitable coat.

Drinks and Snacks

• Please bring in a bottle of water for your child to drink throughout the day. This can be refilled by an adult if needed.
• Fruit and toast is provided every day for snacktime, however if you wish, children can bring in a healthy snack to eat.
